Spellbinders Mystical Scripture Card




In light of this time of year, I wanted to do something inspiring a sense of mystery and fascination as well addressing how I fear the future in today's times. Here is what I came up with.
Using my Spellbinders Mystical die set which is so beautiful alone, I matched it with old Basic Grey Curio prints and the new stamp set from Kennedy Grace Creations Inspirational Verses. I really loved the verse, "Fear Not".  Such an important part of having faith that God is in control despite what evil men are doing.  I hope it gives you comfort as it did me.
You can view more of the Kennedy Grace Creations inspiration on their blog where you can see this post, HERE.

Lovely Layout


Today's post is of a portrait photo using the American Crafts Hazelwood collection. I used Hazelwood One Canoe Two paper and fussy cut for just the right amount of flowers and leaves to match up with the picture.  The "Lovely" title is one of the chipboard elements, and the mat is a patterned paper of the collection, as well. I will eventually make the second layout to match, using the rest of the flower page, and the other photos. Just thought this was so lovely, I would post it as a stand alone. Enjoy!!

Kennedy Grace Creations Sympathy card



Hi, I'm over on Kennedy Grace Creations blog today and am using Beautiful Bloom, Sweet Rose stamp set. Don't you just love that big blossom!!! I used a Gina K die cut of Sympathy in white, overlaid to express the sentiment.
 As for the details, this is actually a card I had made in the past that had no sentiment at all and then right at the time of us having Hurricne Irma, my girlfriend's father died at age 92!! He had had a rich, long life and it was truly a beautiful homecoming service. So I needed a card right away and used this one with the Sympathy laid over the beautiful rose. She loved it! Inside the card, I added "Sending Prayers" sentiment AND a NEW Bible verse that will be coming out this week in our newest stamp releases. Am so excited about this!! It is always nice to put a verse on the left inside page of my cards for a sweet message in addition to a sentiment. Hope you play along with us this week in our New Release Blog Hop. More information to follow,

Other Supplies: I kept it simple by using old papers found in my stash, Prima Marketing Sparkling Spring collection called Giselle; Pink Bazzill in 2 different pink shades, and white smooth paper; Memento Tuxedo Black ink stamped on Neenah Bright white; Copic Sketch markers:  RV04, RV11, RV21, YG06, YG93, YG 95,C01, C03, 0. Jullian Vance stitched rectangles;  Fiskars 12 trimmer with I blade; and of course, the Gina K die cut of Sympathy in this gorgeous cursive script.
